A Question on Semen Retention

[caesar13]

To be honest, I ejaculate (by watching porn) once a day, and I want to change this. And I read that periodically ejaculating is good for health - the semen regeneration and such. Now if that's the case how do you know that it's time to fap? Let's say you see some hot girl and you get aroused and you may do it. Or you may, after a few days, recall some similar incident and may do it, or it could be after you had a wet dream. I hope you understood what I mean.

How do you know it is the right time? Doing it everyday, I do feel the bad effects - mind numb, de-sensitivity to everyday life (so worse that I can't feel now the same affection I had for my pet dog). So it's not an option for me. Not doing it all - I don't know I've tried the nofap way and managed (lot of struggle by the way) to not do it for little over a month. Now I'm thinking "in-between". Others have suggested previously to have sexual intercourse occasionally, but that's also not an option for me.

Any input from you guys is wholeheartedly welcomed.

If you're struggling with daily PMO it can be a good idea to completely abstain for a week or even longer and do a little brain reset. 

But the trick is to not punish yourself for "relapsing". Don't become dogmatic over PMO, it's silly. I had a porn addiction for over 10 years; lots of shame and low energy. Now I still watch some of that nasty ass porn sometimes but I've accepted it and I don't shame myself anymore afterwards, and that's how it should be. 

We all get urges, be chill about it.

@Butters How often do you relapse?

I don't think of it as relapse so no idea. I watch porn sometimes, it doesn't affect me, doesn't come with the emotional baggage anymore.
